Donald Trump assumes the mantle of the US presidency under an unprecedented cloud of litigation that could weigh on his ability to govern after this week's shock election.

“Tomorrow, and every day in the future, we’ll fight for the rights of the most vulnerable people in America — those victimized by bigotry and discrimination,” Cohen said Wednesday in a statement. “We hope Mr. Trump truly means what he says about reaching out to all Americans.”

A representative for Trump could not immediately be reached for comment.

Trump’s campaign is remembered, at least partly, for polarizing political rallies and messages perceived by some as insensitive and blatantly racist.

“There is one group we hope he disappoints — the extremists who flocked to his candidacy and found in him a voice for their bigotry,” Cohen said. “During his campaign, Mr. Trump named far-right extremists as advisers, re-circulated racist and anti-Semitic tweets, gave press credentials to a white supremacist radio host, and refused for months to disavow David Duke after the neo-Nazi endorsed him.
